10 IDG: Crowdfunding: Clouds, Crowds, and Collaboration
You’ve had a great idea for a business, but you don’t have the money to get it off the ground. Would you consider crowdfunding? According to Rolling Stone, “Kickstarter funds the future”, but is it really good for innovation? What about enterprise? And just what risks are involved? This week, we look at crowdfunding with an exclusive interview with a start-up that used a Kickstarter campaign to find the ideal customers, a paper on outsourcing to the crowd for enterprise, and a report on the vulnerabilities to watch out for.

12 How to sync your iPhone and iPad using iTunes

13 What’s with fake “free” apps???
UGN Infomanager reader Tom C, wrote to complain – it seems a couple of weeks ago we ran a piece on a new YouTube downloader/decoder. As it turns out, it was a limited-time demo as opposed to the full working version the rep had indicated – and it told Tom he’d have to pay up. Obviously this ain’t cool for Tom or UGNN, so we’re about finding a new decoding program that runs under Mountain Lion, is very low cost or free, and is easily available. Sorry, Tom, we’ll be more careful next time.
We always welcome your comments and suggestions…

15 And finally, we say goodbye to “H”
DJ Walker-Morgan has announced the closing and final article in the H web site. He writes:
> Although The H has produced many widely read stories,
> it has not been possible to effectively monetise
> that traffic to produce a working business model.
To many developers and hackers, the H was a daily read. And, we send thanks to George H for sending this in.
